Week 1 Tight Ends - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

PPR Targets - Undervalued Tight Ends

Drafting tight ends in fantasy is like eating your vegetables at dinner. You know you should, but you really don't want to. Only three tight ends in PPR leagues, Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce, and Zach Ertz averaged over 12 points per game in 2017. On a points-per-game basis, the TE4 (Evan Engram) and TE20 (Vernon Davis)... Read More

Week 17 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts: 2017 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Week 15 kicked off with Kareem Hunt’s “Allow me to reintroduce myself” show and, among many other storylines, crescendoed with Antonio Brown suffering a partially torn calf muscle, likely ending his fantasy/regular season.

Hopefully you're secure with your running back and/or flex situation, because the waiver wire cupboard is pretty bare at the position.
